This HOWTO describes OmegaT's compatibility with other software products.
Since it is standard procedure for professional translators to receive and deliver texts in digital form, users of OmegaT are naturally interested in its compatibility with other software products. This HOWTO aims to provide information in this area.
A general observation: "compatibility" is rarely a black and white, "yes" or "no" issue. Where the vendor of a software product claims that his product is compatible with another piece of software, this compatibility is seldom 100%. Conversely, where products are clearly not directly compatible, it is often possible to find procedures by which they
can work together. The question which must be answered is whether these procedures are acceptable in terms of the result and the effort involved, and the answer is likely to vary from one user to another. In other words, "compatibility" is not only about products, but also about workflows.
OmegaT runs on any operating system on which a suitable version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) can be run. At the present time, this includes all versions of Microsoft Windows from Windows 98 onwards, Mac OS X, and most Linux distributions.
Refer to the OmegaT user manual for an up-to-date list of all supported file formats. The list below is not an exhaustive list of all file formats supported by OmegaT, but is limited to those of particular interest to typical users.
Microsoft Office 2007-2010 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint 2007-2010); Office Open XML:
OmegaT is capable of handling the current Microsoft Office formats directly, without conversion to or from other formats.
The Microsoft Office 2007-2010 file formats (also known as Office Open XML, and with the file extensions .docx, .xlsx and .pptx) is radically different to the Office 97-2003 formats which they supersede. In fact, their structure is very similar to that of OpenOffice.org files: they consists of a zip archive containing multiple files, and the files containing the text are based upon the XML standard. This makes it much easier for CAT tools to support it and edit it directly. The Microsoft Office 2007-2010 file formats can be processed directly in OmegaT; more information can be found here.
For users of Microsoft Office who do not (yet) have the 2007 version, conversion between Office Open XML and Microsoft Office 98-2003 can be achieved using a free plug-in converter available here from Microsoft. This converter is available for Windows and Mac.
Office Open XML can be converted directly to Open Document Format and back by means of the ODF converter, available here. This utility requires a version of MS Office (XP/2003/2007).
Mac OS X users can convert directly from Office Open XML to OpenDocument Format and back in NeoOffice.
Linux users can use this version of the standalone conversion utility to convert directly between Office Open XML and OpenDocument Format.
Recent versions of OpenOffice.org are able to convert between Microsoft Office 2007 and Open Document Format.
Microsoft Office 97-2003 (Microsoft Word/Excel/Powerpoint 2003):
These file formats are proprietary, binary, and until recently were not publicly documented, all characteristics which make them extremely difficult to handle in a CAT tool.
Some CAT tools solve this problem, at least for MS Word, by working within Word itself; most other CAT tools convert to RTF and back, often invisibly for the translator.
OmegaT does not support these formats directly. Instead, they must first be converted manually to Office Open XML (MS Office 2007/2010) or Open Document format (LibreOffice or OpenOffice.org) before they can be handled in OmegaT. (OmegaT is far from unique in this respect: many other CAT tools convert source files to a different format, in some cases in the background without the translator being aware of the fact, before they are translated.)
RTF (Rich Text Format):
RTF is structurally quite different from the Microsoft Office 98-2003 file format, but with regard to OmegaT, the same applies: it is not supported directly and must first be converted to .docx (MS Office 2007/2010) or Open Document format (LibreOffice/OpenOffice.org).
Open Document Format: LibreOffice/OpenOffice.org/NeoOffice Writer/Calc/Impress
These file formats are the equivalent of Microsoft Office's formats. The Open Document Format is an international standard and has replaced the former proprietary (but open) Star Office file format (two different but very similar file formats). OmegaT has file filters for both Open Document Format and for the Star Office format which it replaced. These file filters are excellent, and the risk of damaging the formatting of a LibreOffice, OpenOffice.org, etc. file during translation in OmegaT is extremely low.
HTML and XHTML, its XML equivalent, are the most common file format for web pages. Again, OmegaT has excellent file filters for both. Like OpenOffice.org files, these file formats can be translated in OmegaT with very little risk of corruption. It is however worth customizing the filter settings for optimum results.
An international standard exists for translation memories: TMX, or Translation Memory eXchange. It has been widely adopted and is supported by almost all current CAT tools.
The TMX standard exists both in different versions and in different levels. The distinction is important for compatibility purposes. The standard is still undergoing development; this is what the different versions refer to. The levels refer to the formatting information that is contained in the TMX file:
Level 1 TMX files contain no formatting information.
Level 2 TMX files contain formatting information, but these files are typically only compatible when the same CAT tool is used. In other words, if an OmegaT user finds a 100% match in a Level 2 OmegaT TMX file, it can be accepted without requiring adaptation, but the same would not be true for a Level 2 TMX file produced by a different CAT tool (or vice-versa). This has repercussions for workflows in which CAT tool users (typically customers) expect to receive translation memory files and to have 100% matches inserted automatically.
Level 3 TMX files contain formatting information in a form that can be read by other CAT tools. Support for Level 3 in CAT tools is rare.
Certain other CAT tools (such as TRADOS) are able to export different TMX files in different versions. OmegaT supports all current versions of TMX, but is likely to deliver better match results if the TMX file is version 1.4b.
Tools which support different levels of TMX files are in principle still compatible with each other. The formatting information contained in the higher levels will be meaningless to the "other" tool, but the textual information can still be viewed, fuzzy matches found, etc.
OmegaT uses the international TMX standard as its native translation memory format. Some CAT tools still employ dedicated proprietary translation memory formats, but virtually all support the import and export of TMX files. In practice, it is therefore possible for translators to deliver translation memories to customers and vice-versa, and for the recipient to use these files for immediate or future reference; if the files are to be used within an automated workflow, however, the constraint described above applies.
Further points to note regarding TMX files:
The TMX standard contains definitions of what characters are permissible. Not all CAT tools are equally strict in their observance of these definitions; consequently, some CAT tools are unable to open TMX files produced by certain other CAT tools directly. OmegaT is generally observant of the conditions and tolerant of other tools' failure to observe them; should problems arise here, however, they can generally be resolved fairly easily by a search & replace in a text editor of the illegal character in the TMX file.
TMX files are in the Unicode encoding, but may be UTF-8 or UTF-16. TMX files produced on Windows systems may begin with a byte-order mark (BOM). This differences do not generally lead to compatibility problems.
Compatibility problems may be caused by differences in the language codes employed. OmegaT supports language codes in the format "xx", "XX", "xx-YY" and "XX-YY", where xx or XX is the language, yy or YY the region. Strictly speaking, the ISO standard for language codes requires "xx-YY" (for example: "en-GB" for British English); although this variant is supported by OmegaT, the default convention offered by OmegaT is "XX-YY", e.g. "EN-GB". OmegaT is tolerant when reading TMX files: it will accept files with en-GB, en-US, en, EN, etc. Not all CAT tools exhibit the same tolerance and some may not therefore display the expected matches if the language codes are not sufficiently compliant. This incompatibility can be resolved by searching for and replacing the relevant language codes in the TMX file in a suitable text editor. Another possible source of incompatibility are three-digit language codes, which are not supported by OmegaT at all. (This incidentally is a limitation of Java, not of OmegaT itself.)
Points regarding proprietary translation memory files:
The traditional Wordfast translation memory file format is of particular interest owing to its simplicity: it consists of a plain-text file with a translation unit (segment) on each line in which the source and target are separated by a tab. This format can be converted easily to the TMX format by third-party utilities such as Wf2TMX. Anaphraseus can also be used for this purpose.
OmegaT's glossary files are plain-text files in the format:
source term <tab> target term <tab> additional information
Some other CAT tools are able to import and export glossary files in this format, or in a similar plain-text format which can be produced from it very easily (for example by a search & replace operation in Microsoft Word).
OmegaT is also capable of reading glossaries in TBX, the industry-standard format for glossary files.
OmegaT cannot import or read glossary files in proprietary binary formats, such as Trados Multiterm.
Many CAT tools make use of an intermediate bilingual file format, i.e. a file containing both source and target language segments, and in some cases also the structure of the original file. Originally, these bilingual file formats may have been a by-product of the tool's architecture. They have however become an important phenomenon in translation workflows involving CAT tools, and they often present the greatest obstacle to compatibility between OmegaT and other CAT tools (or for that matter between CAT tools in general).
There are at least three reasons why a customer may request delivery of a translation in a particular bilingual file format (rather than simply delivery of the translated file and possibly also the translation memory):
1. Some CAT tools, notably TRADOS, are able to import a wide range of file formats, including desktop publishing formats, and to prepare them for translation in the tool concerned. The "prepared" form is typically the tool's bilingual file format. Without preparation in this way, the original file format may be accessible to the translator.
2. The translation stage is only part of the customer's workflow. The translation may for example be passed to a checker for editing. If the checker's changes are to be included in a translation memory repository maintained by the customer, the changes need to be made before the final documents are created. This can be done either within the CAT tool concerned, or in some cases in an external bilingual file format which the tool is capable of reading.
3. The customer wishes to receive a translation memory against which texts can be run in the future: in other words, to "pretranslate" future texts against an existing translation memory. In order for this process to be as automatic as possible, two conditions must in particular be met: firstly, the translation memory must contain formatting information (see above); and secondly, the segmentation rules applied to the text must be the same as those applied when the translation memory (or part of it) was produced. The easiest way for a customers to ensure that these two conditions are met is for them to pretranslate the text themselves before passing it to the translator (thereby defining how it is segmented), and to create the translation memory in the CAT tool of their choice after receiving the translated intermediate bilingual file from the translator (thereby ensuring that the formatting information contained within the translation memory will be compatible with future projects).
Several of the bilingual file formats can be handled by OmegaT, and not necessarily with great effort. An understanding of the processes involved is however important. The individual bilingual file formats are described below.
XLIFF is the industry-standard bilingual file format. It is supported by several CAT tools, and in fact some CAT tools are effectively "designed around" the XLIFF standard: Heartsome and Swordfish are examples. Since it is a standard, an advantage of XLIFF is that file filters provided by one CAT tool vendor for conversion between a certain format and XLIFF (and, following completion of the translation workflow, back again) can in theory be used to prepare files in the format concerned for translation in any CAT tool capable of supporting XLIFF. In practice, working with the XLIFF workflow often requires the use of tools that are not very user-friendly.
OmegaT has rudimentary support for XLIFF, and a procedure for using XLIFF in OmegaT in conjunction with the Rainbow tools can be found here. The filters available are mainly for file formats peculiar to the IT industry rather than end-user files.
Trados "uncleaned RTF"
The Trados "uncleaned" RTF file format, often referred to simply as "uncleaned files", has for many years been the most common bilingual file format used in translation workflows. It owes its origins to the use of MS Word as an interface for the Trados CAT tool. In addition to Trados, however, several other CAT tools also support the "uncleaned RTF" format, notably Wordfast Classic.
Essentially, this format consists of an RTF file in which the source and target segments alternate. These segments are marked and delimited by special characters and MS Word formatting styles.
A script (for Windows only) and procedure was recently (2008) developed enabling OmegaT users to produce Trados uncleaned RTF files for delivery at the end of their translation stage. For details, see the "Exporting from OmegaT to uncleaned RTF" HOWTO.
Trados TTX
Trados TTX format is the counterpart to the "uncleaned RTF" format for Trados Tag Editor, which unlike Trados Workbench, does not work in direct combination with MS Word. TTX is an XML-based format. An OmegaT plugin is now available by means of which this format can be handled in OmegaT.
Wordfast TXML
Wordfast TXML is the native internal format of Wordfast's new Wordfast Professional (also known as Wordfast 6.0). As its name suggests, it is an XML-based format. It is supported by OmegaT.
Déjà Vu "External View"
An interesting feature of Déjà Vu DVX is its "External View" file format. This file format enables OmegaT users to deliver
bilingual files to users of Déjà Vu DVX, who are then able to edit them further or to incorporate them into automated workflows. For details, see the Déjà Vu "External View" HOWTO.

"Pax et bonum" – peace and the good – is the slogan behind Blieskastel Monastery. Today, it is home to the Minorites, also known as "Greyfriars" in reference to their grey habit. Despite it being a place of serenity, silence and solitude, it is also a lively meeting place.
They dedicate their lives to their religion and follow the Rule of Saint Benedict, which focuses on "opus dei", or "the work of God". Nevertheless, the Benedictine nuns move with the times; they are open-minded and receptive towards all who ask about the meaning of life. At Eibingen Abbey near Rüdesheim, you can take all the time in the world in your quest for the answer to this question.
"Porta patet, cor magis – the door is open, but the heart even more so": even though the monks of the former Cistercian monastery in Loccum converted to Lutheranism in around 1600, they still resided there, preserving the Cistercian traditions for centuries.
Two large churches, two traditions: unity is promoted through the celebration of Roman and Byzantine rites in Niederaltaich Abbey near Passau. Life in the monastery is a balance between solitude and community, contemplation and action, with constant efforts to build bridges between Christians in the east and west.
Martin Luther spent six years living in St. Augustine's Monastery in Erfurt. The late reformer prayed, studied, taught and was ordained here. Today, this historic site serves as a meeting place and conference venue. It is also open to anyone wishing to spend a night in the monastery's peaceful setting.
The Cistercians at St. Marienthal Abbey are impressively active and creative, infectiously positive and incredibly persistent, and the abbey itself is an expansive building complex of historical and cultural importance. It is the oldest nunnery of the Cistercian Order, and has been active ever since its foundation in 1234.
Embark on a journey of inner exploration: you can either follow St. Bridget's Trail, part of the St. James' Way network, which takes in Tempzin Monastery, or break away from the pilgrimage at Tempzin Monastery. To hike, pray, sing and dance with like-minded people – or just be together in silence – in an ecumenical group.
Monks have been praying in Tholey Abbey, a Benedictine monastery in the municipality of Tholey, for 1,400 years. 2008 almost saw the abbey close. Almost. Today, 13 monks live here, and the abbey has become a spiritual hub and conference venue. It is open to anybody seeking inner peace in silence and a return to their true self.
A fairy tale? If it is, it's certainly a modern one: by 1990 it had all but fallen into ruin. Today, Volkenroda Abbey is not just a reconstructed architectural miracle, it has become a meeting place, a place of spiritual guidance and humanity, contemporary and therapeutic in our often so demanding and stressful world.
Benedictine monks, Cistercian nuns and Jesuits were once based here. It has been owned privately and by the state and has been used as a local government building: as time goes by, the changes have left their mark on W?ltingerode Monastery. Today, it serves as a monastery hotel and a haven for those undertaking the pilgrimage through the Harz region or visitors seeking time out.

Morocco's Boujmaa Guilloul (Starboard, Severne) has taken the reigns of windsurfing's new era of combination moves, with the creation of another brand new move, The Black Shot.
After mastering the Seadi-invented push-forward, the Moroccan saw the opportunity to invent his own combo move. The Black Shot links a Crazy Pete with a switch stance forward loop. The result is something quite breath taking.
Boujmaa: "I remember the first time i landed a Crazy Pete, i thought it might be possible to make a combo by linking in a forward, but i never had the courage to go for it, and never tried it really. But lately I've seen so many freestylers that constantly invent new moves, so i realized it was still possible to do freestyle in the air, and that there was potential to come up with something new. I still have more ideas to come, i just need to step up and overcome my fear."
For those aspiring to attempt a Black Shot, Boujmaa claims, "it's an easy move. I think people who are not scared of heights can do it really easily. The only secret is to not let go and not think too much, it's easier than doubles and push forwards."

On Monday afternoon hundreds of hunters will head to their stands on the opening day of bear season. Many will successfully fill their tags. Others — 70 percent of hunters, on average — will end the season without a bear.
One thing is certain: Those hunters will have a tough task in front of them if they hope to repeat the successes of 2012, during which several massive black bears were taken around the state.
"Typically with bear hunting we have strong bait years and weak bait-hunting years," explained wildlife biologist Randy Cross of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. "Last year was a very good year. The year before was very poor. We think this year is going to be poor again."
Cross said it's not that hard to determine whether a particular year is going to be good for bear hunting over bait. It all comes down to how desperate for a meal the bears get.
"Weather has a minor role as well [but] the number one overriding factor is the availability and abundance of natural food," Cross said. "It's related a lot to precipitation and we've had a cool, wet spring followed by a relatively damp summer. That usually bodes well for berry crops. And it also looks like we might have some beechnuts this fall."
Cross said when bears have abundant natural foods nearby, they're most likely to feed on those sources during daylight hours, when he says they're aware of human presence — baiters or hunters — in the woods. After dark, those bears may sneak into bait sites to steal a few more valuable calories.
"There's an inherent risk that they recognize. To overcome that fear of human activity and the risk that they sense that is there, they need to have a greater urgency to want to have the calories that are provided there to want to take that chance [and visit a human-produced bait site]," Cross said. "If they have some unlimited berry crops that they can forage on, they don't need to take that chance, or they might forgo showing up by daylight and show up after dark, which makes them perfectly safe [because bear hunting doesn't take place at night]."
A year ago, bears did not have an abundance of natural foods, and they visited baits regularly. Because food was scarce, bears tried to feed voraciously early in the baiting season, preparing to head into their dens early. As a result, those bears put on a lot of weight earlier in the year than they might have, and Maine hunters benefited, bagging several bruins that weighed more than 500 pounds.
Among the big bears taken in 2012:
- A 520-pounder shot by Jeff Hilton of Charleston.
- A 522-pounder shot by Ben Cottrell of Middle Grove, N.Y., in New Canada.
- A bear that weighed an estimated 600 pounds, shot by Richard Paro of Monrovia, Ind., in Township 39.
- A state-record 699-pounder taken by Matt Knox of Pennsylvania in Greenville Junction.
The state's general bear season (without bait or hounds) stretches from Aug. 26 through Nov. 30. Hunters are allowed to hunt over bait from Aug. 26 through Sept. 21. The use of dogs is allowed from Sept. 9 through Nov. 1, while trappers can take a bear from Sept. 1 through Oct. 31.
Maine's bear population is estimated at 31,000, according to Cross, and has grown from 23,000 over the last eight years.
That's a concern for biologists, who have been tasked by a public working group to keep the state's bear population at 2005 levels.
"One of the things hindering our ability to maintain a stable population is lack of bear hunters," Cross said, explaining that rising fuel costs have increased the price of guided bear hunts from about $1,000 20 years ago to $2,000 today.

Mother's Day
For Mother's Day Jeremiah took Israel and I to the mountains for the night. We played by the shore, relaxed in rocking chairs outside, swam, played basketball and ate lots of junk food. It was beautiful and so nice to get away for a couple days and not think of all the things I have to do on a daily basis. I loved having some time with my boys without any distractions.
I also got a gift certificate to the spa for a message and facial. As soon as I can carve out some time to go...

Developer Staffing Survey: Needs Outstrip Supply, September 04, 2012 An InformationWeek survey shows IT managers expect that developers with the needed skills will be hard to find for a while yet.
Certifications don't matter.
In finding developers with the needed skills or in retraining them, most IT managers don't value certifications. In the U.S., at least, this view is widely held. College degrees are valued (although they matter less in software development than in other fields), but certifications ultimately are only proof of attendance and basic learning for specific courses. In many ways, the jaundiced perception derives from tales of bad hires who were certified, as well as the awareness that the certification process is geared towards having candidates pass and take further certifications. This perspective, however, is partly cultural. In conversations with Indian programmers, it is clear that certifications are more greatly valued in India (and presumably, other countries) than in the U.S.

Black Creek Mennonite Meetinghouse (Stevensville, Ontario, Canada)
The Black Creek church was located four miles (6.5 km) west of Stevensville. Jacob Krehbiel served in 1880 as a congregational leader. The congregation dissolved in 1880. It had been affiliated with the Mennonite Conference of Ontario. The language of worship was English and German; the transition from German occurred in the 1860s.
The congregation began services about 1827. Jacob Krehbiel is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation originated through immigration from the United States.
Black Creek was also known as the Log Church. Jacob Krehbiel withdrew from Mennonite Conference of Ontario and began a General Conference Mennonite church located in Stevensville.

This is Marshall McLuhan is the transcript of Alex Kitnick's opening remarks preceding the screening of This Is Marshall McLuhan: The Medium Is the Massage, that took place at the New Museum as part of Rhizome's New Silent Series.
Anthony McCall, Long Film for Ambient Light, 1975
Tonight we're going to look at a 16mm print of This is Marshall McLuhan: The Medium is the Massage, which begins with a brief shot of a light bulb. A few weeks ago as part of its programming at Dia, Light Industry presented Anthony McCall's Long Film for Ambient Light (1975), which consists of a lone, if rather large light bulb, hanging in an otherwise empty room, with a wall of windows covered over in scrim on one side to modulate the light coming in and out. Over a 24 hour span, reaching from noon one day to noon the next, the natural light of the sun and the artificial luminescence of the bulb were put in constant tête-à-tête, projecting forwards and back, contrasting and comparing and facing off with one another. In this play of light and shadows, various social interactions took place, different at different times of the day and night. Occasionally, the bulb was the center of attention—literally highlighted—with people clustering around it, while at other moments its light seemed to match the daylight and not draw much interest at all. Alone and isolated in a cool white space, the bulb's plain power, usually used as an aid to display, was itself illuminated.
Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, 1964
The light bulb was always McLuhan's first example when explaining what he meant by his famous mantra "the medium is the message" since it communicates no information itself but rather facilitates a range of behavioral possibilities: "The electric light is pure information," McLuhan wrote in 1964's Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man. "It is a medium without a message…

Collecting is where material pride, wisdom and love uneasily sit, an endless pursuit which moves product, an endless boon to any enterprise. To collect is to amass, to buy, to own, to bring into one's circle the niceties of some industry for one's own comfort and inspection. The collectable items should be unique, if not numerous, and if not unique, at least very rare. Collecting is to break off pieces of some whole, but the item, when found, bought, discovered, possessed, is a shining whole to the collector, and compared to it, the universe is a sad jumble—such is the profundity of collecting.
Poetry anthologies spread wealth; poetry is centrifugal; it scatters itself outward freely. Except where it overlaps with the 'rare book collector,' poetry, despite its fecundity, is not collectable; collecting is centripetal; it waits in vaults and rooms crowded with unique paintings, coins, and cars. To know coins, one must darken them in one's palm; to know poetry, one merely glimpses what every other person glimpses.
The following list is not a rare book list; increasingly, great old poetry, important translated poetry, and all sorts of rare poetry, simply lives on the internet.
This, in many ways, is a perfectly centrifugal list, readily available to whatever soul—no matter how mysterious, no matter how centripetal, no matter how hidden, no matter how curious—happens to want it.
Poetry is against collecting. Poetry doesn't hoard; you can be deeply poetic for free.
These are books you could own, or read, or memorize, or teach, or learn, and probably already have.
Good translations are necessary, but impossible. Old poems are necessary, but impossible. Good, new poetry is necessary, but impossible.
The list below is mundane, but necessary. This—mostly from the top of the list—is what you read if you want to know poetry.
It is everywhere, but it still must hit you.

Employees and customers at Quick 6 Liquors in Weymouth, Massachusetts were in for a surprise Tuesday when an unexpected guest came barging in.
Surveillance footage shows a deer leaping through the store's front window, then racing through the aisles as the disoriented animal tries to find a way back out.
Customers can be seen dodging the deer, which, according to NBC affiliate WHDH, knocked over a few high-end liquor bottles in its attempt to flee.
U.S. & World
The store owner told WHDH no one was injured but the deer had a few cuts when all was said and done.

What it takes to be on 'Worst Cooks in America'
For most of his life, the smell of burned food was not uncommon in any of the kitchens where Michael Haydin ever lived. The former Sherman resident had always been a horrible cook.
"I would burn grilled cheese and undercook chicken. I always told people whatever I cook either comes out pink or black," said Haydin, a graduate of Shepaug Valley High School in Washington, and South University in Georgia.
Recently, Haydin, 25, got the chance to improve his cooking skills after being selected as one of 14 contestants on the fourth season of the Food Network's "Worst Cooks in America" -- a reality competition show for people with poor cooking skills. He learned to cook directly from top restaurant chefs Anne Burrell and Bobby Flay, and had a chance to win $25,000.
The show, which was filmed in Brooklyn, N.Y., in October, premiered Feb. 17 and is on every Sunday for the next six weeks. In a recent interview from his home in Rye Brook, N.Y., Haydin shared what his experience was like on the show.
Q: Michael, I have to tell you, this story hits very close to home for me. As my husband and four children can attest, I'm a terrible cook. You're very brave for wanting to be on this show and to cook in front of others. How were you able to get on it?
A: My wife and I watched the show's prior episodes and she would joke that I should be on it. When she learned it was casting for its fourth season, she contacted the show. Shortly after that, I got a call from a casting agency and went through several rounds of auditions. The show cast thousands of people from all across the United States. I guess there are a lot of bad cooks out there.
Q: What is the goal of the show?
A: In every episode, the chefs will demonstrate a dish and we'll need to replicate it as close as possible within a set period of time. By the end of each episode, the contestants who were least successful at this were sent home. There are two competitions taking place -- one between the chefs to see who is the best teacher, and the other between the contestants to see who is the best learner. At the end of the first episode, I cooked a successful pork chops and potatoes dish, so I got to stay on the show.
More InformationMichael Haydin
He grew up in Sherman, but moved to Rye Brook, N.Y., in 2007.
He's 25 and his wife, Liana Haydin, is 26. She's an accountant, and is the one who suggested he try out for the show.
He's also an accountant, and works at Alfano & Co. LLC in Greenwich.
He holds an associate's degree in accounting from South University in Georgia
Food Network's "Worst Cooks in America," on which he's a contestant, can be seen Sundays at 9 p.m.
For an inside look at what was happening during the filming of each episode, log onto Twitter and use the hashtag #WorstCooks. Follow Haydin through @mikehaydin.
Q: How critical were the chefs of your dishes?
A: They criticized every aspect of them, from taste to texture to looks, as well as our cooking procedures, such as safe and effective knife skills and cooking carefully to avoid cross-contamination.
Q: What was the process of filming the show like?
A: I had to take time off from work. All the contestants were sequestered in a house in Brooklyn. We weren't allowed any contact with the outside world -- no cellphones, no Internet, no TV, and definitely no cookbooks.
Q: What was it like working with Anne Burrell and Bobby Flay?
A: Chef Anne really knows how to put things in a way you can easily understand. With Chef Bobby, you can tell he spent years perfecting his craft by seeing how comfortable he is with food and flavors.
Q: Would you say you're a better cook from this experience?
A: Definitely. I got over my initial fear of cooking and realize cooking can be pretty fun. I now cook three or four nights a week, a lot of Italian and Asian food.
Q: So, I see you seem to like bow ties. Did you just wear them on the show?
A: No, that's me. I always wear bow ties. I wear them every day to work. I don't like ties because they get in the way.
Q: What was your biggest fear while you were on the show?
A: I wondered what they would do to me if I burned the whole studio down.

Watch NBC's full opening ceremony coverage in primetime at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT right here.
Olympic athletes walking out for the parade of nations at the opening ceremony often wave to the crowd with one hand and hold a smartphone on the other, capturing the moment for them to remember forever.
Well, thanks to social media, we get a glimpse at what they saw from the Olympic Stadium in Pyeongchang on Friday, and it looked beautiful, based on these posts from Team USA:
As Olympic ski champ Ted Ligety put it: "@pyeongchang2018 are lit."
The cameras weren't always pointed at the action going on in the stadium. Snowboard superstar Shaun White was a big hit, as at least a couple of his fellow athletes grabbed selfies with him.
Plenty of others on Team USA grabbed a friend or training partner for a photo from the floor, too.
There were also selfies with VIPs. Bobsledder Katie Uhlaender snagged Vice President Mike Pence and his wife Karen for a photo-op.
Ice hockey player David Leggio (at right) is apparently a big fan of comedian Nick Kroll (left), judging by the reference in the caption to "too much tuna," which comes from Kroll's TV show.
Leggio wasn't the only one joking around on Friday. Bobsledders John Daly and Steven Langton took a steamy photo of themselves in their Olympics gear — minus the sweaters and showing off their abs. Langton "lost his sweater, stole mine, and ripped it," Daly explained, by way of asking Ralph Lauren for new ones.
They did not appear to walk shirtless in the parade, leaving that honor to Tonga's Pita Taufatofua.

Hospira's Symbiq infusion pumps cannot be imported from the firm's plant in Costa Rica because of unresolved manufacturing problems, the FDA said. Also this week: a setback for once-daily Lyrica.
FDA Halts Infusion Pump Import
Problems at a Hospira manufacturing plant in Costa Rica prompted the FDA to block imports of the company's Symbiq infusion pumps produced there, the company said.
Hospira had already put the pumps, which had been the subject of a series of recalls since 2010, under a voluntary hold. But the FDA apparently considered that insufficient protection, ordering an import alert that prohibits their importation.
All Symbiq pumps are made at the Costa Rican plant.
The company emphasized that its other infusion pumps, as well as consumables for Symbiq pumps still in use, are not affected by the import alert.
Once-Daily Lyrica Fails in Seizure Trial
A formulation of pregabalin (Lyrica) intended for once-daily dosing was not significantly better than placebo in reducing seizure frequency in patients with epilepsy marked by partial-onset seizures, its manufacturer said.
Pfizer said that a 330-mg dose of pregabalin reduced seizure frequency by at least 50% from baseline in 46% of patients in a phase III trial, compared with a responder rate of 36% with placebo. However, the difference failed to achieve statistical significance (P=0.09). A 165-mg dose showed no evidence of benefit relative to placebo whatsoever.
The placebo response was unusually high, Pfizer noted.
Currently marketed versions of pregabalin are to be taken two to three times daily, depending on the dosage and indication. The drug is approved for diabetic neuropathy pain, post-herpetic neuralgia, and fibromyalgia in addition to partial-onset seizure epilepsy in adults.
Two other studies of the once-daily formulation in fibromyalgia and post-herpetic neuralgia are still underway, Pfizer said. The company didn't indicate whether it would abandon development for the epilepsy indication.
Merck Drops Two Polypills
A pill combining the antidiabetic DPP-4 inhibitor sitagliptin (Januvia) with atorvastatin (Lipitor) will not be pursued, according to a terse statement from Merck & Co., which had been developing the product.
The statement said the combination pill, MK-0431E, was being dropped "for business reasons." It did not elaborate, but the term usually means that the sponsor has decided that it could not sell enough of the product to justify the development and production costs.
Merck also said that, for "business reasons," it was discontinuing development of a three-drug polypill combining extended-release niacin with laropriprant (an investigational vasodilation inhibitor) and simvastatin (Zocor) for cholesterol management.
But the firm added that it was still moving ahead with a niacin-laropriprant combination called MK-0524A.
Drug to be Tested for Friedreich's Ataxia
An orphan disease for which there is currently no approved treatment may soon lose that status, if a newly announced clinical trial is successful.
A mitochondrial protectant drug called EPI-743 is to be evaluated in a phase IIb trial, according to the Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance, which is assisting in patient recruitment.
EPI-743 is a small-molecule oral drug with the chemical name alpha-tocotrienol quinone and is being developed by Edison Pharmaceuticals in Mountain View, Calif. The firm focuses on treatments for mitochondrial diseases, of which Friedreich's ataxia is one.
The drug boosts endogenous glutathione synthesis, which in turn reduces oxidative stress that is toxic to mitochondrial function, according to Edison.
The firm also recently announced initiation of a phase IIb trial for EPI-743 in another mitochondrial disease called Leigh syndrome.
Immunotherapy Doubles Glioblastoma Survival
Data from three trials of a drug called rindopepimut for EGFRvIII-positive glioblastoma indicated median survival of about 21 months, with an overall 3-year survival rate of 23% to 33%, said the drug's manufacturer.
In contrast, median survival in historical controls in this population has ranged from 12 to 16 months, with overall 3-year survival rates of 6% to 18%, according to Celldex Therapeutics.
Rindopepimut is a vaccine-type immunotherapy targeting the epidermal growth factor variant III, or EGFRvIII, which is associated with a particularly aggressive form of glioblastoma.
Celldex is currently sponsoring a phase III study with this therapy in patients with newly diagnosed EGFRvIII-positive glioblastoma, as well as a phase II trial in patients with recurrent disease.
Data from the three trials was presented at the 2012 Society for Neuro-Oncology meeting this week in Washington.

text: Kostamojen 19 Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) Due to lots of questions and such lately about my car, I've decided to start a semi-"official" thread about lifting Imprezas. For the purposes of this thread, I will presume everyone knows how to install everything without instruction. NOTE: This thread will remain incomplete pending more information by other members. Struts: The basic principle behind Impreza lifting is that as it turns out, Forester struts are aprox. 2" longer between the spring perch and hub mount, providing an instant 2" ride-height lift. These struts ALSO allow for taller tires by providing more clearance between the hub and spring perch. Late 90's Outback struts may also provide lift in this manner (need more information). Forester struts come in various varieties, and there are aftermarket options too. Forester XT struts are stiffer than the non-turbo varieties. KYB offers GR-2 Forester struts, which are also stiffer. There are also JDM "STI" struts which offer more stiffness, although will cost more. Comparison photos: Strut Top Spacers/strut lifts: Several companies currently offer strut top spacers (Paranoid Fabrications, Subtle Solutions, Jackson Rally). Anything over 3/8" WILL require new strut top bolts in order for enough thread to fit through the spacer. This is also a way of performing a strut-lift without changing struts... HOWEVER, taller tires will still not clear the spring perch on Impreza's due to clearance issues. Vendors who carry strut top spacers/lifts: Paranoid Fabrications Subtle Solutions Jackson Rally Strut Top Mounts: Front top mounts are the same on all model year Imprezas and Foresters, so front suspensions can be installed without changing tophats. Group-N tophats are available of course for extra stiffness if so desired. Rear top hats are an issue for 93-01 Imprezas (02-07 Imprezas match up with 03-08 Foresters) There are two options: 1) Install your stock 93-01 Impreza rear top hats onto the Forester struts. This MAY require some sort of washer/spacer between the top hat and strut (more information required) 2) Keep the Forester top hats, drill a new 3rd hole into your chassis to fit those mounts. This has a couple of issues, including the fact the center of the top hat runs into the strut top hole as they don't match up, and the Forester top hats DO increase the ride height in the rear some more. (I corrected this with a 1/4" spacer in the rear, and a 3/8" spacer up front) Photo of a 93-01 re-drilled to fit the 03-08 Forester tophat: Springs: Forester springs provide MORE lift over just using Forester shocks, because if you use WRX/STI/etc. springs on a stock Forester, it lowers it quite a bit. Various Foresters have different spring rates (more info required). If you want even MORE lift, King Springs makes lift springs for various Subaru models including Foresters. If you don't wish to do more than 2-3" of lift and wish to maintain good handling, use WRX or STI springs in order to reduce the amount of lift (Aftermarket springs are also an option). Rear spring comparison: Tires: Taller tires can also provide more lift to your vehicle. Forester-height tires (IE 215/60/16) can work with a lifted Impreza, but for more radical tire sizes with off-road tread patterns there are other options such as Grabber AT2's (215/75/15 or 215/65/16) and Superswampers. NOTE: Larger tires can and probably will cause issues with fender clearance. Major modification of fender liners, rolling of fenders, and even trimming of bumpers MAY be required depending on the tires you select, so be warned. Photo of larger diameter tires: Trailing Arm Brackets - When performing a lift, the rear trailing arms start to pull the rear tires closer towards the front of the rear fender wells, as well as causing issues with suspension geometry. To fix this, trailing arm brackets that "move" the pivot point are required. 97-99 Outback trailing arm brackets have a pivot mount that is over 1" lower than an Impreza bracket, which will correct the geometry and keep the tire farther away from the fender. Forester brackets have pivot points that are farther rearward, and move the tire away from the fender, but don't provide as much geometry correction. Adjustable length trailing arms can also partially solve the trailing arm issue (See: Cusco and OBX trailing arms) but should probably also be used with Outback brackets. "Spacers" for the trailing arm bracket. Some people have made custom spacers that lower the trailing arm down, which can be especially useful for cars with quite a bit of suspension lift and need more than the stock brackets can provide. Note: I can't confirm this yet, but apparently some trailing arm brackets from various Impreza and Forester model years have DIFFERENT bolt patterns, I need more information on this. Photo of Outback vs. Forester trailing arm mounts: Swaybars: When performing a lift, Swaybars become an issue because you are increasing the distance between the swaybar and where the suspension rests at. The EASY solution is to remove the swaybars all together, but at the expense of on-road and higher speed handling. Rear Swaybar - 97-99 Outbacks have rear swaybar brackets that sit about 2" lower than stock Impreza brackets, which in turn lowers the swaybar to correct for added lift. Forester brackets may also be compatible (need more information). Front Swaybar - The front swaybar is enclosed by the subframe, so there is no easy way of lowering the swaybar. HOWEVER, longer endlinks will also solve the problem. I recommend running Kartboy STI rear endlinks on the front, since they are longer than stock front endlinks (contact Kartboy for more information, if you have a stock non-sti front control arms, the endlinks may require a different bushing). Other "required" parts: Rear Camber bolts - These are important because without them, you can't properly align the rear suspension when lifted. Body Lift, IE body spacers: (possibly required depending on the amount of lift you are doing) Outbacks and Foresters over the years have used spacers between their subframes and chassis in order to lower the drivetrain to correct for CV angles. IF you are doing a lift of several inches, this may be required to prevent your CV's from constantly dying. There are several items required: Front subframe spacers, Rear subframe spacers, Rear differential support spacers and brackets and bolts, corresponding transmission cross members (MT or AT depending on your application), pitch rod, transverse link bushings, and longer steering joint. This can also be accomplished via custom work of course, which some people have done. Optional parts: Adjustable rear lateral links - These can help with the rear alignment, along with lock bolts, for off-roading purposes. They can also increase the rear track width if so desired. WRX sedan/STI front control arms - These can increase the track width, which can help with fitting taller tires. Adjustable rear trailing arms - Can help move the rear tire toward the center of the wheel well when lifted. Aftermarket subframes - These are starting to show up, and may provide lower mounting points to help with lifts, and perhaps lower drivetrain components as well like a body lift. NOTE: More to be added soon... Also, if anyone wants to be credited for the use of there photos, please PM me personally so I can take the necessary steps to do so.

Gabbing About Garfield: Conversing About Texts With Comic Creator
|3 – 5
|Lesson Plan Type
|Standard Lesson
|Estimated Time
|Two 60-minute sessions
|Lesson Author
Tampa, Florida
With many of your students probably familiar with comics and manga, this lesson offers the perfect chance to get students to think critically about the comics they see in the paper every day. Students begin the lesson by playing an online game that requires them to sequence Garfield comics and answer questions about the strips. Each round has three questions targeted to specific skills: comprehension, vocabulary building, and drawing inferences. Then, students are introduced to the features and conventions of comics and examine how the Garfield strips use these comic conventions. Students work in pairs to conduct a written conversation about Garfield comics and record their conversations using the interactive Comic Creator, incorporating features of the comic strip genre into their original texts.
Comic Creator: This easy-to-use tool allows students to create, edit, and publish their own customized comics.
Xu S.H., Perkins, R.S., & Zunich, L.O. (2005). Trading cards to comic strips: Popular culture texts and literacy learning in grades K8. Newark, DE: International Reading Association.
- Popular culture texts, such as comics, trading cards, television shows, and graphic novels, provide opportunities to engage children's literacy interest and motivation.
- Successful comics mimic reality and stimulate readers to think about current issues.
- Comics are similar to other narrative texts in terms of story elements (e.g., characters, story sequence, conflicts), and similar to a television show or picture book in that pictures tell part of the story.
- Comics also include some unique structural features, such as the use of speech bubbles, conversational tone of text, and the reliance on visual effects to enhance meaning.
Van Sluys, K., & Laman, T.T. (2006). Learning about language: Written conversations and elementary language learners. The Reading Teacher, 60(3), 222233.
- Students learn about how they use language for authentic purposes as they converse with peers on paper.
- Collaborative writing provides an opportunity for students to merge their knowledge and understanding of how language can be used.

About Doc Coyle
View Full Biography
God Forbid started out by building up a following in the late 1990s touring with bands such as GWAR, Nile, Cradle of Filth and Candiria. Their first full album Reject the Sickness was released by 9 Volt Records in 1999. This album received heavy rotation from WSOU-FM in the New York City area and the band was subsequently signed to Century Media Records, releasing the album Determination in 2001.
They played on the MTV2 Headbanger's Ball tour with Shadows Fall and Lamb of God. In 2004, they released Gone Forever, which increased their profile considerably and earned them a spot on Ozzfest. The next year, they released IV: Constitution of Treason, a concept album about the end of the world. It was their first album to enter the Billboard 200, debuting at #118. In 2005 - 2006, they supported Trivium on their UK tour along with Mendeed & Bloodsimple. In late 2006 and early 2007 they headlined the Chains of Humanity tour featuring Goatwhore, Mnemic, The Human Abstract, Byzantine, and Arsis.
In 2006, God Forbid's "To the Fallen Hero," won the Independent Music Award for Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Song. They released a DVD on June 10, 2008, and their fifth studio album, Earthsblood, was released on February 24, 2009, and landed at #110 on the Billboard 200. God Forbid toured across the United States and Canada in the No Fear Energy Music Tour featuring Lamb of God, Children of Bodom, As I Lay Dying and Municipal Waste in April.
In July 2009, God Forbid participated in the Rockstar Mayhem Festival along with Trivium, Bullet For My Valentine, Cannibal Corpse, All That Remains, Slayer, Marilyn Manson and many others.
In March 2009, Dallas Coyle announced that he would not be joining the band on their US tour, leading to unconfirmed rumours that he was planning to leave the band. On March 31, these rumours were confirmed by Dallas's brother and bandmate Doc Coyle. His replacement for the upcoming tour was named as former Darkest Hour guitarist Kris Norris. He was later replaced by Matt Wicklund. In April 2010 the band issued an update that they have started work on a new, currently untitled album.
Doc Coyle came out for 3 days to our studios in Kent, Ohio and taped 5 song lessons. We had a great time working with Doc and hope he can come back sometime in the future!

Mike H."I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!
Greg J."With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
Bill"I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students."
I am commenting here to tell you and everyone at JamPlay that I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students. I truly enjoy learning to play the guitar on JamPlay.com. Yes, I said the words, ""enjoy learning."" It is by far the best deal for the money.

Say what you will about size, it's the numbers that really matter. Consider: Women produce one egg a month, which birth control pills have been notably efficient in keeping corralled.
Men, however, come armed with hundreds of millions of sperm, so a successful male contraceptive has to deal with every one of the little buggers. Every one of them! Little wonder, then, that promises of a male pill have rung as hollow as a morning-after's "I'll call you."
The sexual landscape may be changing, though, thanks to a University of Minnesota chemist who has developed a new approach to bringing men into the world of birth control, short of condoms or vasectomies.
Gunda Georg is a professor in the College of Pharmacy's Department of Medicinal Chemistry. The National Institutes of Health recently awarded Georg a $4.7 million grant for her contraceptive work.
Here's what's new: Most efforts to develop a male contraceptive use testosterone, but there are side effects: moodiness, which causes researchers to worry, or testicular shrinkage, which causes marketers to despair.
Also, men make sperm until the day they die, so any method may be used far longer than women's birth control. (Quick round of applause for menopause.) Finally, any method's effect has to be reversible.
"There's always been a hormonal approach to a male pill, like the woman's pill, which made people think a solution was just around the corner," Georg said. "But ours is a non-hormonal approach."
Georg's explanation calls to mind those sex education movies showing thousands of tiny shimmying sperm around a gigantic egg. It's not that the sperm are shimmying as much as whirling their tales in a circular motion, "like a drilling movement," she said. "What we're doing is trying to slow them down. It's a particularly nice way of thinking about it -- immobilizing the sperm."
Working with Joseph Tash at the University of Kansas, Georg found a nonhormonal compound called H2-gamendazole that causes developing sperm to be released before they're fully mature.
"We're not targeting their generation, but their motility," Georg said.
The beauty of slowing the sperm involves another number: During unprotected sex, semen ends up only a few inches from the back of the vagina. Yet the actual distance the sperm must swim to reach the egg is equivalent to a man running three miles, according to "The Male Biological Clock," by Harry Fisch.
Would a guy really use a pill -- or injection or patch or cream -- if given the opportunity? Elaine Tyler May is a professor of American Studies and History at the University of Minnesota and author of "America and the Pill," published in 2010. Her research supports other surveys that say men would take birth control.
"Surveys show that men would certainly be willing to share responsibility for contraception, and the risks and the side effects if they were tolerable," May said. "But up to this point, there hasn't really been a pill that has shown itself to be tolerable and reasonable."
The bottom line, of course, comes down to the bottom line. Georg and Tash are ready to talk to the Food and Drug Administration about clinical testing, which is a huge financial undertaking. She's curious how their non-hormonal approach will be received, but optimistic.
"I grew up in the '60s, when the Pill first appeared," Georg said. "You wouldn't think you'd want to burden all the women -- that men should be able to participate, as well."
New approach could lead to birth control pill for men
Say what you will about size, it's the numbers that really matter. Consider: Women produce one egg a month, which birth control pills have been notably efficient in keeping corralled.
